Parking

There is no on-campus parking available unless you are a blue badge holder which must be pre-booked in advance by Friday 10 January 2025. Please contact  graduation@uel.ac.uk to pre-book a space if this applies to you. Entry to campus will be refused to anyone who has not pre-booked a space.

We have partnered with Exchange Ilford to ensure car parking spaces are available for attendees over the week of graduation at your own expense. Get further information on how to book a car parking space at Exchange Ilford, including parking rates per hour.

A free UEL shuttle bus service will be in place throughout the day (from 7.30am until 6.30pm) between Exchange Ilford and Docklands Campus for anyone who chooses to park here. The pick-up and drop-off point for the shuttle buses at Exchange Ilford will be Havelock Street, by the car park entrance and the buses will pick up and drop off outside the main car park at Docklands Campus, as indicated in the map above.

The University is not liable for any parking expenses incurred.
